It doesn't have a volume control because it's designed to go into a head unit, or I think you mentioned you had a mixer? That's fine too. It outputs at a standard level, but if you hacked a pair of earphones on to the output with special adapters, it'd be much too loud.

Thanks! 😊 I cleaned the surfaces with isopropyl alcohol to make it really shine. The play/output controls aren't too amazing, basically just "play", a Dolby noise canceling effect, some EQ and no volume control. But! The recording/input controls seem amazing! Volume control, panning and hi cut/boost. 😁

oh damn, I just came back here and zoomed in for the first time. That is a nice deck!

Radiation would vaporise any data on those magnetic tapes, CDs otoh would if stored to prevent scratches.

leaving typo as "Maxwell" gives a different 90s flashback coffee this time

Omg Maxwell flashbacks

I don't know how you didn't instantly think mixtapes when you saw it

The painstaking hours were the point

Journey before destination 😉

Just bought a five pack maxell ur 90 😊

Hey, Amazon sells blank cassette tapes!

I don't even have the tracklist anymore, and currently nothing to play it on. But keep an eye out here, one day in the distant future I might be able to post it! 🙂

The OS will normally buffer writes in RAM when an application does a write, then when it has a bunch, do them all at once, so it'll do a big chunk of one, then the other.

Also for some unusual filesystems, like, say it's a log-structured filesystem, the actual data may just be more-or-less written forward for both of them.

Modern storage systems and protocols have device performance and longevity in mind, too.

A lot of really smart people have thought long and hard about the problems and limitations of the components that computers run on and how they communicate, and the longevity of the components is a testament to that collective effort.

There will be limitations throughout your network; LAN speed, write speed on B, write speed on C, etc. these factors may slow down the reads on A such that it is never reading at full speed no matter what.

If you took a simpler example, say old SATA disk A being read the. Getting written to NVME disk B and C on the same machine, you are much more likely to start hitting HDD caps on the reading device, where delays from seeking may occur. Even then, your OS should be providing some level of "smoothing". It could be either reading whole files or large blocks of data from the HDD at any one time, such that it will try to make the most of a read at a location while not bottlenecking the sending of data to both write devices. Not to mention that rsync may also be smart enough to cache data between the two outputs such that two readys don't need to happen.

With all that said.... Does it matter? Not really. The OS will try it's best to get data out of A as fast as possible. The network will try to get data distributed in the same way. Disk A may be working hard and may do some jumps and read/writes, but it won't intentionally break itself.

Really quick update incase anyone every sees this issue themselves years down the road, it’s been days and so far no problems as it strangely still seems to be working fine. 🤔 Leaving me obviously beyond perplexed as to what this call is… 😵‍💫 Here are the number of calls in 24 hours, which isn’t terrible…

Post the mix >:)

I appreciate that 🤣 Weirdos stick together!

Mkay, don't steal my thunder plz 🤣

Had to look it up. Unfortunately,

Depending on whether you modify the cassette recorder or not, you can get around 1.5 megabytes on a tape.

Probably. But I'd sit in the corner with you, laughing my ass off.🤘

Which mixer are you using?

There are still some vintage decks and amps out there with needle meters, yeah. Really, I'm just raising the bar for myself so I don't splurge on the first available cassette deck I see 🤣

It's probably cool to read about. The people I went to school with were not amused, however 😄

Hilarious. I'll try it! 🤣

Yeah, analog "arms"/"needles"? would be so cool. I have also found this website, fixyouraudio in case the drive belts would snap. :)

I'm routing it to my little mixer and then that mixer to two active studio monitors. 😎
